TESTING TESTING

Mellow

Jon David (aka Apukuna)creates musical journeys from deep within the mountains. Inspired by the beating hearts of the mystical music makers of mother earth...
thats what we feel and we feel so blessed to be able to share this attitude on 'Echoes'.  Thank you APUKUNA!

Open Into Flame
 is a meditation, a prayer and a dance for personal and collective transformation. For the past month, I have been immersed in smoke from fires burning in the mountains to surrounding my home and from the hundreds of others burning nearby here in the Pacific Northwest of Canada/USA. The burning of entire towns, homes and livelihoods has moved me into tears and into deep reflection. What is our Earth Mother asking of us in this time? This music was chosen to tell the story of my own journey into this question. It's an invitation to open into your own flame and to support releasing, transforming and welcoming new beginnings. As Bība shares so eloquently in this mix, “It’s time for a change of skin. This shedding is underway. Snake shows us that this shedding is by fire. The skin burning away is a skin full of injustices, anger and violence. [The fire] is symbolic of moving away from the old ways and making way for the new. In these flames, our anger can now be seen, our shadow revealed by the glowing light. And in this fire now, it’s time to heal. At this time of great shedding, an energy channel is open- a line of light. This line of light is our lineage. Our path to awakening. This energy is open to all beings on earth to come into alignment with the unfolding mystery of our individual and collective evolution.” 
With love - Jon (Apukuna)

Dear beings, 
it's been an honour to open the newly designed "Turmbühne" at Plan:et C this year. 
Peace!

Bebetta - Schnee von gestern

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/G1Xayi4eHiY

This set was filmed on September 20th, 2021 to align with the full moon equinox energy. The set is totally improvised between Janax Pacha and I. I have a collection of loops that make up the ingredients of the different tracks that we move through with the timing and weaving of these loops being totally improvised based on the energy of each unfolding moment.  We had no plan for which songs to explore and just did our best to tune in and listen to what wanted to come through. You can see us communicating here and there just to establish the key of the track and the bpm - beyond that the conversation is just through feeling the vibes.

The island behind us is called Es Vedra and it has quite a mythology around it and a reputation for being one of the most potent vortex points on the earth. With the combination of all of these energies, this set was incredibly powerful for those few of us present for us. When we finished I felt like I was journeying with an entheogenic substance. This for me is a beautiful sign that we journeyed to deep places and opened ourselves as channels for something meaningful and hopefully transformational to come through us as musicians. I can only hope that this journey offers something of meaning to you in your current process.

Ibiza has the reputation for being a party island to go deep into drugs and alcohol along with techno and a lifestyle of sex, drugs and rock n' roll. However, there is a thriving underground community of incredibly inspiring people living on the island hosting beautiful transformational retreats, offering healing, and generally doing whatever they are called to do to lift up mankind to a higher vibration and remind us of your unified nature. 

Thank you to my friends who helped to make this happen and carried stuff up the mountain to the side of this cliff: Jordan, Jason, Bruna, Grace and the Kommune Team

Alquimia is the first sessions I recorded while traveling through latin america. It’s a momentum of so many influences, experiences and energies. Especially Tulum had a big impact on this journey. The cleansing smell of the copal, the colour of the turquoise carribean beach, the powerful mayan vortex - all of them are woven in the sound of Alquimia.

Alquimia – a word of wisdom and knowing. How do we come to a knowing? When are we ready to receive wisdom? Especially with this podcast I want to share that sometimes it doesn’t flow at all. I tried to bring my favourite songs in a special order together but the flow wasn’t how I like it. I tried and tried and tried, almost the whole day I tried to find a solution and at the end it was impossible. Then I had to take the decision of letting go… enjoyed the rest of the night and opened myself for the momentum. It wasn’t the right time to produce a set. Next day the magic of knowing happened. Within 2 hours I created this beautiful journey without any troubles. It was just pure flow, pure guidance, pure alquimia of sound. I am so grateful to experience, that sometimes, we have to be patient, to let go, to open ourselves for the greater wisdom. When we and the time is ready we receive the knowing of selection for the right things in the right moment, to have an understanding of the whole situation, ingridients and details. To be able to hold a space and create something magical - this is what alquimia is about.

Here we go! My Sunday noon set from @lusatia-festival 2022 on the Pachamama Stage ✨
I finally managed to upload a set with the sound I've been playing in clubs and at festivals for the last few years 💥

A huge thank you to all the wonderful people who made this day an unforgettable and very special day for me! Thank you @arnau-amatista and @lapachamusic for the opportunity and trust to play with you, thank you @simontober for mastering the set and thank you Anja, @alec-troniq and @fixiefate for the trip to this beautiful island full of love, great people and beautiful stages! 🌿

It was a very special day for me that I will never forget ❤️

Dorian Fecht [at] Lusatia Festival 2022

Hello friends! Here is the recording of my very first set at Stereo Montréal

A place that truly feels like (((home))) 

A room that means so much to many of us and that sparks wonders for those who haven't been yet. A space where we can be free, all together. A spaceship that uses vibrations to bend space and time. A temple where music becomes alive.

It was an honour to have the chance to play in this room for 11 hours to the most amazing group of humans. It's been a dream of mine for so many years to have the chance to play there and it's one of most meaningful moments I ever lived. Stars were aligned, the collective energy was truly beautiful and I am happy to be able to share with you the soundtrack of that night. 

Thanks to all the @stereonightclub team for the incredible work to co-create such a sacred space for music. 

A special thanks to Luc for the cosmic visuals during the night.

And thanks to all of you family and friends who joined the journey.

This is Part One, between 00:00 and 06:08 am.

With love,

Mikael

Kevin Yost DJ set Sorrento Italy

Welcome back to our wonderful podcast series!

We are beyond delighted to share with you this new episode curated by talented Romanian dj/producer @silencepath 

Silence Path represents a new beginning in the harmonious universe of experimental sound in electronic music, transmitting emotion and especially the experiences of every moment in life.

This project came to life because of the desire to express the music in another way and to convey it to another level with a much more spiritual story than the old project.

Over time, the emotion received had a massive impact on defining the current musical style. but the most important thing in this journal is to convey the old feelings put into a flowing core.

This road wants to carry on the feeling and the empathy through the only way you can communicate and through which you can manifest yourself without limits. each of us has his own way, which he chooses in an unknown end.

Hop on a spacey musical journey!

Epiphany Podcast #115 - Silence Path

Music plays a very important role in my healing process and I wanted to share my emotions with you through this special mix.

As a timid boy in my childhood I always had to encourage myself to approach the girls I liked the most and growing up, cumulating only rejections I started to be scared to love. I was afraid of being rejected and afraid to be hurt or to hurt someone, so I developed this idea in my mind that I fall in love with the girls that will never share the same feelings for me. 
The time passed and I grown up being an introvert and very shy guy for many years until I got into mixing and realised that I could manifest my emotions through music. I can say that my healing journey started then.
I am still shy sometimes but I like that and embrace it cause this is who I AM.  
There were a lot of factors who “helped” my ego and pain body to have control over and those were things that my mind projected as “things that holds me back”. One day I realised I was the one holding on to them.
I had therefore started to let go of all the pain that I’ve been holding on for so long.

“I am in Sync,
I am in Flow,
I Trust and Let Go”

Sonne, Strand und Meer Guest Mix #129 by B.A.X.

Born in 1989 in Ho Chi Minh City - Vietnam, Bach was taught to play the piano when he was eight years old. Later on he took academic piano lessons at the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music, graduated the Intermediate Long-term program in 2009 and achieved the Piano Bachelor's degree in 2014. Bach has been playing the piano for more than 10 years now and this impressive sound has had a big influence on his music career ever since he started playing. He then discovered his passion of composing music and started his own project ‘B.A.X.’ at the age of 18. He has spent a lot of time to do research about electronic music and composed his first New Age / Ambient works.

He stepped into the movie filmscore in 2010 and started composing many filmscore for several short films, later on composing filmscore for Vietnamese feature movies from 2014.

He started the DJ career since 2012 with Heart Beat Saigon and since 2016 with HRBR (Harbour Saigon). Through many years of cultivation, the color of his Deep House music has gradually become an unforgettable symbol, a color that melody and harmony are the main euphonious factor. On the dance floor, he develops the music in different angles that you never know what is interesting to expect next, his selection of tracks will make everyone crawl out of their shell, as the music becomes the cocoon.

From here on, he began to produce electronic music for his own dance floor. In 2018, his first release Microcrystals EP was released on MNL label by Paul Hazendonk, the release has been miraculously praised by Paul himself as well as other big names. Also in this year, he then released his track Hallucination Rain in the Muak Sampler compilation on Muak Music label by Zaki, making him more recognizable in the world music scene.

In 2019, he established his new label Holy Grail Music, focusing on his passion for melodic electronic music. As he said, this imprint was a dream that he have cherished for years, an opportunity for him to gradually expand the music production with local artists as well as artists around the world.

Tracklist:
1. Carlos Rafael Rivera - Beth's Story (The Queen's Gambit OST)
2. Yagya - Memories of Old Dreams [Small Plastic Animals]
3. Ryan Davis - Dimmed [Anjunadeep]

Gimerique (https://soundcloud.com/gimerique) presents "Alpine Rush" Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr. 207

Unsere Nr. 207 kommt heute von einem Schweizer/Belgischen Duo, welche ich seit einiger Zeit verfolge. Melodisch und mit der gewissen Tiefe an danceability schaffen sie es ein aufs andere Mal faszinierende Sets aufzunehmen, welche nie ein Bein ruhig stehen lassen. Auch heute.

Nachdem sie sich 2013 auf SC kennengelernt haben, arbeiten Florian und Benoit heute im Tandem, um verträumte elektronische Musik mit einer erzählerischen Mischung aus sowohl deepen als auch lebendigen Elementen in die Welt zu bringen. Unter seinem Alias https://soundcloud.com/bigasti veröffentlichte Benoit auf Imprints wie Steyoyoke, Lost Diaries oder Einmusik und erlangte durch seinen einzigartigen melancholischen Ansatz in der elektronischen Musik schnell Anerkennung in der Szene. Floloco, Florians DJ-Projekt, hält sich weniger streng an nur ein elektronisches Musikgenre. Das Thema, das seine Sets oder Mixe verbindet, ist der besondere "https://soundcloud.com/floloco"-Groove. Nach jahrelanger Erfahrung in der elektronischen Musik als Einzelkünstler, vereint Gimérique den Signature-Sound der beiden Elektronikmusik-Enthusiasten zu einem neuen Kapitel auf ihrem vielversprechenden Weg in der elektronischen Musikszene.

Alles begann mit einem gemeinsamen DJ-Set, das auf der weltweit angesehenen Schirmchendrink-Mixshow veröffentlicht wurde, die die beiden 2015 gemeinsam gegründet haben. Nach mehreren gemeinsamen DJ-Sessions spürten sie, dass es an der Zeit war, das Projekt auf die nächste Stufe zu heben: et voilà, Gimérique war geboren!

Mit ihrer ersten gemeinsamen Produktion im Jahr 2020 hat Gimérique Lerrs "Hummingbird" in ein tiefes und verträumtes Territorium gebracht. 

Gimériques erste Originalproduktion, 'Calm at Heart', wurde im Frühjahr 2020 auf Harabe Recordings veröffentlicht und erkundet eine ambientere Landschaft ihres Sounds. 

Voller Ideen und Inspiration haben sich die beiden während der Pandemie im Studio verkrochen. Mit purer Aufregung können die beiden nun endlich ihre kommenden Projekte ankündigen, und das schon bald.

Anbei habe ich es mir nicht nehmen lassen Ihnen einige Fragen zu stellen:

Erzählt uns doch mal ein bisschen was über eure musikalischen Einflüsse und eurem Hintergrund.

Florian (ich): Geboren anfangs der 80er bin ich in den frühen 90ern mit elektronischer Musik in Kontakt gekommen. Bald einmal, und dies ist heute immer noch der Fall, begann meine Faszination von NYC und French House (oder Filter House sagte man dem eine Zeit lang). Mein Stil wurde sicherlich stark geprägt durch den mehr Techno/Elektronica-orientierte Stil in Europa später. Und, aufgrund meines Freundeskreis', erachte ich Hip Hop (Golden Era bis heute) ebenso als wichtigen Einfluss in meinen Musikgeschmack.

Ben kommt vom Rockigen, er spielte  Schlagzeug in seiner Kindheit und in Bands mit seinen Freunden. Erst später, mit dem Ausgehen in Clubs, begann seine Passion für elektronische Musik. Ben hat ein Faible für melancholische Melodien.

Zusammen ergänzen wir uns perfekt. Wir beide haben ein Faible für cineastische Klänge. Ich bin eher der groovige und Ben der melancholische - dies ergibt einen recht coolen und passenden mix, so finden wir zumindest ;)!

Was macht in euren Augen eine gute Afterhour aus?

Oh wow, dies ist schon eine Weile her. Afterhour haben eigentlich einen schweren Stand - wir gehen mal von einer guten Haupt-Party aus. Daher macht eine gute Afterhour für uns aus, dass es gelingt den Drive und die Stimmung zu verlängern, ja bestenfalls sogar noch zu übertreffen.
